Mainland China, while those from 1949 to 1976 focus on Taiwan. The sole works from 1949 to

This anthology includes works from
Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and also Chinese-speaking authors of other places, originally published in Chinese between 1918 and 1992. The works include poetry, essays, and fiction, with most fiction being short stories. Novels and drama pieces were too
